Due to inherit a fortune after his sickly, widower father's death, Charles decided he needed a woman to enjoy it with.
Going to a singles' bar, he spotted a woman whose beauty took his breath away. "I'm just an ordinary man" he said, walking up to her, "but in just a week or two, my father will die and I'll inherit 20 million dollars."
The woman went home with Charles ,and the next day she became his stepmother. (When will guys EVER learn?!)
